Also progress on paravirtualization and the x86 emulator. As usual, if you have an issue please try with -no-kvm-irqchip and report. Changes since kvm-40: - refactor hypercall infrastructure for simplicity and better smp support (Anthony Liguori) - fix ioapic level triggered interrupt redelivers (solves networking stalls) - reduce efer reloads with 32-bit guests; minor performance improvement - split x86 emulator decode and execute stages (Laurent Vivier) - fix pic interrupt delivery (solves time going double speed on x86_64 Linux guests) (Qing He) - adaptive live migration bandwidth limits (Uri Lublin) Notes: If you use the modules bundled with kvm-41, you can use any version of Linux from 2.6.9 upwards. If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.20, you need to use kvm-12. If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.21, you need to use kvm-17. Modules from Linux 2.6.22 and up will work with any kvm version from kvm-22. Some features may only be available in newer releases. For best performance, use Linux 2.6.23-rc2 or later as the host. http://kvm.qumranet.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
